As a top Liberal Party campaign strategist has said:

“It’s simple, a message of fear beats a message of hope every time.”

Going by the comments here, it obviously works.

DavidK,
that Author Norman Abjorgensen should change his name to Abnormal.

'individual'?

You mean this guy?

Please expand on your less than erudite comment - where/what/why/how/etc he has he got it so wrong?

Or (most likely) he has hit the nail on the head as you have so timely and aptly demonstrated.

Graham Young says:

"Whatever our prejudices, status or abilities, when we mix with others with a similar prejudice, we become even more prejudiced."

I have to agree with OLO's editor ... so demonstrably seen here.

DavidK,
I was referring to his writings in the link you provided in the post before my reply. He sounds to me like the archetypal Academic i.e. an expert in attacking integrity with they aim of furthering their own interests at the cost of everyday people i.e. Taxpayers. Unless I'm totally misreading his archtypal hangers-on rabble.
Why is that these "experts' only criticise & never produce any useful & workable solutions ?
Even the local labourer contributes more to society than these academics.

Thanks for replying 'individual'.

Sure, Abjorensen is an academic (what is wrong with that?) but the way Abbott's government is applying their 're-education' policies, they remind too many who can remember, of fascist Nazi Germany.

History tells us that ordinary German citizens didn't really understand what was happening, yet they 'followed'.

History repeating itself here?
